Parenting Tips for a More Peaceful Season Online Class with Kirsten Nottleson

How would you like for THIS to be the year that your “holiday season” runs smoothly and you feel calm and peaceful in your home?

Regardless of how, what, or if you celebrate at all, unrest can creep into your family, as everywhere you turn you are bombarded with messages about what you need to consume in order to have the experience of your dreams. Expectations, gatherings, school programs, pressure to conform to traditions or family exchanges can increase excitement, stress, anticipation, sadness, and overwhelm. Patience can run short. Additionally, most parents have some level of unresolved feelings that arise during this time of year.

When your child picks up on all this energy, inside and outside their home, their behavior can easily go off kilter.
Simple trips to the grocery store can become a battle of “but WHY can’t I have it NOW?” Questions like, “Is there a Santa?” or “Why doesn’t Santa come to our house?” can lead to big feelings for both you and your children.

Grab your favorite warm beverage, snuggle up on the couch, and join me for a lively, informative class where I’ll offer:
